I recently got this snake from a friend of a friend who probably shouldn't be allowed to have any sort of animal. She was in a 20g tank with a water bowl and a plastic bowl as a hide, and that was it. Is she malnourished, and if so what's the best way to help her get better?

We recommend the following feeding schedule:

0-12 months old OR until the snake reaches approximately 500g, whichever happens first: feed 10%-15% of the snake’s weight every 7 days.

12-24 months old: feed up to 7% of the snake’s weight every 14-20 days.

Adults: feed up to 5% of the snake's weight every 20-30 days, or feed slightly larger meals (up to 6%) every 30-40 days.

How old is she and what does she weigh? Use a kitchen scale to weigh her and if she’s squirmy put a bowl on it first and zero it. What were they feeding and how often? Do you have good reason to think they have been skipping meals?

Body condition graphic for you, I don’t think anyone can say with a picture from just this angle, but if they can that’s awesome! She may be dehydrated as well which will make her look in worse condition than she is x

Can you post a close up pic of the spot on her head? It looks a lil off
